## Description

This project is a browser-based rhythm toy and virtual instrument that simulates percussion play. It functions as a keyboard-driven animation tool where user key presses trigger real-time character movements and sound effects.

The application specifically provides a virtual bongo simulation, linking physical keyboard inputs to synchronized animations and auditory percussion sounds.

The system utilizes keyboard-to-action mapping to coordinate client-side audio synthesis with sprite-based rendering and event-driven animation triggers. Visual feedback is managed through state-based switching between idle and active animation states.
